Fire extinguisher
Fires can ignite in any setting, and when they do, staff must act immediately. This online fire extinguisher training equips your team with the knowledge and calm decision-making needed to handle an incident safely.
Created for organisations across transport, logistics, construction, laboratories, retail, hospitality, trades, manufacturing and agriculture, the course focuses on practical, real-world scenarios so learners understand how to reduce harm and limit damage.
It uses clear video instruction to explore essential fire response skills in depth.
The goal is genuine capability, not simply meeting a requirement. Completing the course also refreshes unit standards 3271 and 4647.
